You can use ARC/ORC just fine on embedded :) Not sure why do you think that it's impossible.

It used to be the case that you turned the GC off when running on embedded, but you are correct that ARC/ORC runs on embedded devices and will indeed make these even easier to program against in the future. Whether running things that normally require a GC on a tiny microcontroller is a good idea is of course entirely up to the programmer.
